HI-FI SEPARATES

Hi-fi separates are quite simply the best way to get quality sound reproduction in your home. Components offer greater convenience and sound quality - each manufacturer excels in certain areas, so by mixing and matching brands, you get the best units possible. You also get to allocate your budget according to the sources you use most. If you're an avid radio fan, spend the most on your tuner. If you listen to the radio twice a year, spend less on it! Unlike an all-in-one system, if you want to upgrade a component, or a bit goes wrong, you don't have to start again, you just replace or repair that bit. Ultimately, it's all about the sound quality. Hi-fi equipment is just the means to the end. Separate components are better at putting you in the heart of the action - a well-matched hi-fi set up creates a 3D sonic image that makes you feel like you could close your eyes and be at that gig, concert hall, arena, jazz club etc.

Amps are the hub of your hi-fi system-they take signals from your source components, and feed it to your speakers. A receiver combines an amp and radio within one box.

CD is the still the best selling solid media music format. To make the most of your shiny silver discs, invest in a quality player, it will make all the difference.

CD, hard disc, cassette or minidisc recorders are ideal for top notch sound quality, whether you're archiving your recordings, recording live events or simply want to make your own compilations.

'Interconnects... they're such an important variable in determining the sound of your system' said What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision magazine. We couldn't agree more!

Speakers take signal from your source units, via your amplifier, and spread sound around your chosen environment. They come in all shapes and sizes, from small and dinky bookshelfers, or elegant floorstanders.

Gold plated banana plugs and good quality cable will make all the difference to the performance of your speakers. Go on, treat them to something nice!

Speaker stands will accurately disperse any vibration generated by your bookshelf speakers, expand the sound stage and enhance bass response.

A good quality tuner makes radio signals sound superb. DAB radio uses digital signals, rather than the traditional analogue, providing super clear, high quality reception.
